Ecological

There are 6 levels

Biosphere

the system formed by all the living beings on planet Earth and their interrelationships, sometimes to refer to the space within which life develops.

Biome

A biome, also called a bioclimatic landscape or biotic area, is a certain part of the planet that shares the climate, flora and fauna.

Grassland

Ecosistem

An ecosystem is a biological system made up of a community of living organisms and the physical environment in which they are related, it is a unit composed of interdependent organisms that share the same habitat.

Marine ecosystem

Community

A community is a group of human beings who have certain elements in common, such as language, customs, values, tasks, worldview, age, geographic location, social status or roles.

A forest of trees

Population

are all organisms of the same group or species, living in a particular geographic area

New York City

Individual

Living being, animal or plant, belonging to a species or genus, considered independently of the others.

They describe the disposition of biological organisms in relation to each other, being a classification and organization of the various ecosystems.

Chemical

There are 3 sub levels

Molecular

Biomolecular

They are the constituents of cellular structures

Nucleic acids

Proteins

Carbohydrates

Lipids

The combination of two or more atoms gives rise to the formation of simple or complex molecules

Atomic

The chemical characteristics of each atom that can bind to others and form substances

Subatomic

The matter is organized in protons, electrons and neutrons

The elements that from and conform the matter and it's interactions, without altering their structure. Is the lowest level in this organization, they combine each other to form more complex organisms.

Biological

Concept

There are 6 sub levels

Organism

Living being to a singular and differentiated individual, composed of a set of hierarchical and specialized organic matter.

Fungi

Animal

Human

System

it is a complex network of relevant biological entities. Usually used to refer to the human organ and tissue system

Circulatory system

Digestive system

Respiratory system

Organ

Functional unit of a multicellular organism that constitutes a structural unit and performs a specific function.

Some of there examples are

Kidney

Brain

Heart

Tissue

Are those biological materials made up of a complex and organized set of cells, of one or several types, regularly distributed with a coordinated physiological behavior and a common embryonic origin.

Nervous tissue

Muscular tissue

Epitelial tissue

Conective tissue

Cell

It is the smallest unit that can live on its own and forms all living organisms and tissues in the body. The three main parts of the cell are the cell membrane, the nucleus, and the cytoplasm.

Procariotics

Eukaryotics

Organell

An organelle is a specific structure within a cell. There are many different types of organelles. Organelles are also called vesicles.

In the body of a living being there are different structures that are organized according to their complexity. This level constitutes the set of tissues that has competence at the individual level to exchange energy and matter with the environment, and to replicate itself.
